Telling the fuzz his name is Ben Dover costs man five hundred dollars

[47of74]

Florida Man learned the expensive way why it's not a good idea to tell the fuzz one's name is Ben Dover.

The wiseass who identified himself as “Ben Dover” when police found him in a Florida park after hours has been sentenced to pay a $500 fine in connection with his no contest plea to an obstruction charge, records show.

In November, a sheriff’s deputy got into a confrontation with a man whom he sought to remove from a park in a St. Petersburg suburb. Asked to identify himself, the suspect “responded by stating his name was ‘Ben Dover,’” the officer reported.
